I am quite satisfied with the quality of those adaptors. They are available in raw aluminium, as well as black and silver anodized.
I have a set of these SSC 15mm black that should show up towards the end of the month if you want further feedback

Perhaps, but when trying to modify the title I got a message saying that the administrator does not allow the change after a certain period of time.

Thanks for the feedback, i have seen pictures of your car with the described rims and 15mm, looks good, so you think 17mm is to wide even though just the 2 mm extra. Also price on that site is £60 more with shipping that the group buy with shipping. Anyone tried H&R spacers

I'll take a set in black just trying to figure out what size, 15 or 17 any advice? I have a 16 R with blades and will be installing H&R springs when I get the spacers.

My info comes from an early post back in 2015 where someone had installed H&R springs and 17mm spacers (gyrodyne wheels) who had scraping issues with the 295s. If the OEM suspension is fully loaded (far less likely), the car will travel down to the same level as the H&R suspension. Someone else recently mentioned they experienced rubbing with 17mm spacers when the trunk was fully loaded and the car traveled over some bumps. He reverted back to 15mm spacers. I believe he was on OEM tires and suspension.

When I had the 15mm spacers, they even caught the fender lip when I went up to 305 tires.

Yes, that would be my recommendation.

Not sure if this has lost all steam, but no additions in a few days and no action on the thread. The old thread is actually more active as a result.....

Hoping maybe some new people will jump on board, otherwise I may just order mine at whatever price I can negotiate with Lenny or H&R. Let’s see what happens in the next week or so......

I'm thinking the same I've had my springs sitting in the garage for a couple weeks and want to get them installed ASAP just need to pick spacers up. Was searching on Google and came across these on ebay:

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F123339316364

Anyone have any thoughts on them?

I’m for sure getting a set

Hey gb2684 I appreciate you putting this group buy together but I am anxious to get my springs installed and want to do the spacers at the same time so I went ahead and ordered some spacers.

Thanks.

Ok peeps, not sure everyone is grasping the concept; the idea is to get more people not less. at our current rate of "growth", the spacers will cost $1,485.00 per set.

Of course, I am joking, my best to Mr. Cranium, don't worry about the rest of us explaining to our children why Christmas was "a little light" this year because daddy had to come up with a few extra shillings to fund his hobby....you enjoy your new spacers and springs........
Thanks.

I know a lot on the forums have had good luck with Motorsport Tech, but I recently had them make a custom 7mm spacer and was less than impressed with the quality of work. They were made too wide on the hub and too wide on the wheel centric lip. See the attached video. I'd definitely recommend H&R if you can go that route.

That looks super shoddy, did you contact them back? Any reply or resolution?

Looks like someone has dyslexia and saw 64.3mm rather than 63.4mm as the center bore. Just bring it to their attention. Motorsporttech will make it right.

Yeah, definitely was not what I was expecting. They told me to send it back so they could measure and make me a new one if their measurements were wrong.
